“It happens the world over - we love ourselves more than we do the one we say we love. We all want to be Number One, we've got to be Number One or nothing! We can't see that we could make ourselves loved and needed in the Number Two, or Three, or Four spot. No sir, we've got to be Number One, and if we can't make it, we'll rip and tear at the loved one till we've ruined every smidgin of love that was ever there.”
Irene Hunt, Up a Road Slowly

“...I wondered why so much had been written about love's pain and so little about the glorious relief of being delivered from love's pain.”
Irene Hunt, Up a Road Slowly

“And then suddenly Danny's arms were around me, and his lips were on mine, and the crazy windshield wipers commenced singing our names together.”
Irene Hunt, Up a Road Slowly
